Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…
Is pause and breathe.

We all know fruits and veggies are important, but getting kids to actually eat them? That’s a whole different story! 😅

As discussed in a recent interview with Fox Network’s , here’s something most parents don’t realize: A child’s food preferences start before birth. Research shows that what you eat during pregnancy shapes what your child will crave later on. But there’s an even bigger factor at play—your relationship with food.

Kids don’t just eat what’s on their plate; they absorb the emotions, habits, and beliefs we have around food. So before stressing over what your child should eat, take a moment to reflect:
💭 What messages did you grow up with around food?
💭 Do certain foods bring guilt or comfort?
💭 How do you talk about food in front of your child?

The way we eat is just as important as what we eat. When we heal our own food story, we make it easier for our kids to develop a healthy, joyful relationship with food! 🍽✨

Thank you for the opportunity to share such important messages!
